In the evening of the same day, Yang Huaizu hurriedly left Beijing and went straight to Tianjin, he was in charge of collecting sea ships, and a considerable number of family members were not suitable to travel by land with the army. The reason why Yang Huaizu was needed to be in charge of this matter was because the new army only knew that they were leaving Beijing to resist the invasion army, and it was only the commanders of the battalions who understood Huangshi's true intentions, and Huangshi had instructed them not to convey this matter in advance but to wait until the moment he stipulated.

Early the next morning, Jin Shentong was neatly dressed, and today he was ordered to meet the chief instructor of Song Jianjun of the teaching team, and Huang Shi asked him to have a good talk with Song Jianjun in a personal manner. Although Song Jianjun was Huang Shi's confidant, Huang Shi still wanted to use hints rather than explicit vernacular, so that in case of leakage, the imperial court could not immediately distinguish whether it was Huang Shi's meaning or Huang Shi's son-in-law's meaning.

"Are you ready to leave Beijing?" Jin Shentong asked his wife, and both of them knew about Huangshi's plan, so they had already begun to prepare secretly, but the servants in the house were still in the dark.

"Alright." The closer she got to this day, the more Huang Zijun felt reluctant to be attached to Jingshi, she didn't seem to have any special attachment, but she didn't feel the pain of parting until she really had to go to another country: "Tomorrow, right?" ”

"yes, there's only one day left." Jin Shentong looked at his wife and gently patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your carriage is very comfortable, the lady will like it when she sees it, and it won't be bumpy at all on the road." ”

"Hmm." Huang Zijun's hand was placed on his abdomen: "I hope the journey is safe." ”

"It will be safe all the way, don't worry, when we arrive in Nanjing, we can live and wait for the child to be born."

……

Leaving Jingshi's house and running back to the Zhiwei military camp briefly explained a few words of precautions for the day after tomorrow, Jin Shentong took Lin Guangyi and left the Zhiwei camp alone, although Huang Shi explained that he should not inform others in advance as much as possible, but Jin Shentong still told Lin Guangyi after some consideration - Jin Shentong also needs a subordinate who understands what he is doing to help him deal with some tricky things.

"Why should we run away without a fight?" Lin Guangyi still looked puzzled, he complained to Jin Shentong: "We have an army of 70,000, the soldiers are good enough to eat, and the thieves have come from afar, we are waiting for work, is this Jingshi's flower world given to the thieves in vain?" ”

"This time Xu Ping is menacing, let's avoid it." Jin Shentong said softly without looking back.

"Xu Ping? yes, of course he's menacing. Lin Guangyi secretly glanced at his adult behind his back, and his voice was lowered: "But will the adult be afraid that he won't succeed?" ”

This time, Jin Shentong glanced sideways and looked back, as if he wanted to see if the expression on Lin Guangyi's face was sincere rather than simply complimentary, but he didn't look at it for a long time, and quickly turned his head back: "Except for fighting alone, I really don't know how to win him." ”

"But with Hou Ye here, Hou Ye can always win him, right?"

"The problem is here, Master Hou doesn't want to fight him."

"But don't you want to? Why don't you persuade Hou Ye more? Lin Guangyi's tone was raised again, and he used Jin Shentong to persuade Huang Shi to change his mind: "...... My lord, Xu Ping, well, will he be willing to nest in the north? The grudge between him and the adults can't be resolved at all, and he will definitely chase him to the south. ”

"It's just that he is willing to nest in the north, and we didn't say anything about it, so we just broke into the camp." Jin Shentong couldn't help but say more, and he said coldly: "We will still come back." ”

"Then why go? Giving the North to the thieves for nothing...... Phew—"

Jin Shentong and Lin Guangyi fixed their mounts at the same time, the military camp of the teaching team in front was not far away, and it was almost there from this intersection, and eight new soldiers with long white feathers stood at the intersection, and after seeing Jin Shentong and Lin Guangyi, they ran over together and saluted: "Is it General Jin?" ”

"What are you doing here?" The Xuanfeng Battalion has been canceled, and now all those with white feathers on their heads are no different from firefighting battalions, Jin Shentong carefully took a large number of them and recognized two of them, one is the nephew of the battalion officer of the Flame Battalion, and the other is Jin Mancang, the godson of Wang Qinian who worships his father but has not changed his surname.

Since they are all acquaintances, Jin Shentong immediately became much more polite: "Team Officer Bao, Team Officer Jin, what are you two here to teach the team?" ”

"Brother Kim?" The team officer replied: "Lord Wang wants to invite you to go to the fire camp and talk about ......" The team officer took a step closer, lowered his voice and said, "Tell me about tomorrow." ”

"Oh," Jin Shentong couldn't help frowning slightly, although he didn't know the specific arrangements of Huangshi for the fire camp, but he notified the team officer a day in advance, although they were all henchmen and nephews, he felt that this was a little cautious: "If you have anything to say to me, go to Master Hou." ”

"There are some things that Lord Wang can't say well, and he and Hou Ye will say it, but I still hope that General Jin and Lord Ling Zun will go out and talk to Hou Ye."

Jin Shentong's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he guessed that what the team officer said meant was to let their father and son shake Huangshi's determination to retreat to the south, but he didn't plan to wade into this troubled water, because of a hint of hesitation in private, Jin Shentong had just been scolded by his father.

"I have an order with me today, and I'm going to the teaching team to see Instructor Song, I'm sorry." Jin Shentong shook the reins of his horse and said to the officers and soldiers of the firefighting battalion in front of him: "Borrowed." ”

……

Shanlan Camp Barracks,

Wei Landu was still pondering Huangshi's explanation yesterday, but he didn't have too much resistance to it, since Kaifeng Dashui, he had no intention of continuing to buy Chongzhen's life, but looked forward to returning to the Funing Army day and night, for which he and other battalion officers had a few big quarrels.

"Master Hou has finally made up his mind." Wei Landu was in a very comfortable mood, in addition to not wanting to play for the Ming Court anymore, he himself did not have anything to fight with Xu Ping. As the victims of the Kaifeng flood, Wei Landu now hates Chongzhen Junchen the most, and he very much hopes to see them being taken over by the invading army.

Suddenly, a sentry reported that there were other new troops outside the other battalions heading here, Wei Landu was stunned: "There is no move today, it should be tomorrow, tomorrow morning, gather the team officers to give a lecture, and then leave the barracks to take action." ”

Ascending to the watchtower of the barracks, Wei Landu was confused to see that the friendly troops outside the camp had been deployed on three sides, and even the artillery had been dragged in: "What are they going to do?" Is this going to attack us? ”

The front is a fire camp, and on the side are two banners with the banners of Mount Tai and fine willows. The guards and staff officers around Wei Landu couldn't believe their eyes, and the friendly troops on the opposite side neither shouted nor sent envoys, even in hostile battles, sometimes there would be some envoys to communicate before the war.

"So they didn't attack us, otherwise there would be a messenger to explain the situation, what kind of temporary deployment is this?" A staff officer said.

"Doesn't it take an emissary to explain it when it's deployed outside my camp?" Wei Landu turned to a herald and said, "Go out and ask, what are they going to do?" ”

"Yes, my lord."

When the herald turned around and ran down the watchtower, a staff officer pointed to the white-feathered military formation outside the camp and said incredulously: "My lord, are they firing fire?" ”

When Wei Landu raised his binoculars and looked at the place pointed by the staff officer, he happened to see a gunner in the fire battalion pressing the hot cannon to the muzzle, and when he saw the smoke rushing out of the muzzle from the telescope, Wei Landu was stunned for a moment.

……

"Is this the sound of cannons?" The sound of thunder seemed to come from not far away, Jin Shentong and Lin Guangyi looked back together, and then another, one after another: "This is the direction of our new army camp!" ”

"Go see what's going on." Jin Shentong didn't want to give an order.

"Yes, my lord." Lin Guangyi flicked his horse's head and ran towards the way he came.

"Wait a minute, brother." Jin Mancang shouted, but Lin Guangyi turned a deaf ear and immediately accelerated in the direction of the new army station.

"This brother stops!"

Jin Mancang shouted again, Jin Shentong turned his head to stare at the fire battalion officer who gave orders to his subordinates, his face showed anger, and he was about to ask when suddenly there was a gunshot and a muffled snort from the back of his head.

When Jin Shentong turned back again, he saw that Lin Guangyi had already fallen from his horse, and six soldiers with white feathers rushed out in the distance, and the muskets and gunsmoke in their hands had not completely dispersed.

"Brother Lin!" Jin Shentong screamed, and when he rushed over, he saw Lin Guangyi lying motionless on the ground, bleeding from his chest and mouth, and he had already lost his breath.

"You guys!" Jin Shentong was furious, and turned back to the two firefighting battalion officers of Jin and Bao and shouted: "You dare to kill my people!" Are you going to rebel? ”

At this time, the six firefighting battalion soldiers who appeared on the road saw that the two officers frowned, and hurriedly defended themselves: "My lord, this person is going to run." ”

Although Jin Mancang felt that his subordinates were a little reckless, but after all, this was an order in advance, he first came back to his senses and said coldly to Jin Shentong: "General Wang has an order, General Jin must be invited to see him, and the Song instructor that General Jin is looking for has been ordered to see General Wang, and General Jin and we can see him when we go back." ”

Another officer waved his hand, and the fire battalion soldier behind him raised his gun and pointed it at Jin Shentong.

"On orders, on whose orders?" Seeing the muzzle of the black hole of the soldier behind the other party, Jin Shentong felt more and more angry: "I came to teach the team on the orders of the Hou Ye, why did General Wang order me?" ”

"There is a holy decree." The team officer replied, "General Wang is acting on the emperor's holy decree. ”

"Divine decree?" Jin Shentong sneered: "When did the holy decree take effect in the new army?" Are you going to betray Lord Hou? ”

Jin Shentong pointed at the Bao team officer with his hand: "The surname is Bao, last time you robbed the people's daughter, if it weren't for the face of the Hou Ye, how could the national law spare you?" ”

"That's not the face of the Hou Ye, it's my uncle who serves the country, and my uncle protects me with military merits," the team officer was furious when he heard this, and immediately retorted: "On the contrary, the Hou Ye was unwilling to intercede for me at the beginning, and it was my uncle and General Wang who went to ask the court for mercy." ”

"If there is no Hou Ye......"

"If there is no emperor," the team officer interrupted Jin Shentong's words: "Because there is also the emperor and the marquis, so the emperor will take special care of the people in the new army, if there is no emperor, will the marquis make the decision for us?" Hou Ye has long forgotten that our fathers have served him for many years. ”

"If Master Hou forgets, he won't tell you about his plans."

"But in the south, Lord Hou will deprive us of our military power as a reward for our allegiance to him, isn't that so?"

This question made Jin Shentong pause: "Who told you?" ”

"That's it anyway, right?" Jin Mancang took over the conversation: "General Jin, we know that we can't do without Hou Ye, if there is no Hou Ye, the emperor should turn his face on us, General Wang just wants Hou Ye to stay in the court." Please don't misunderstand General Kim, this is a military admonition, not a betrayal. ”

"It turns out that you want to use the Hou Ye as a tool to flatter the emperor," Jin Shentong shook his head: "I will not be a hostage in your hands." ”

"Ask General Jin to throw his sword and handcuffs on the ground," the Bao officer threatened, "General Wang's order to us is that if General Jin does not go with us, then we will be killed." ”

"You're crazy, you're crazy." Jin Shentong scolded: "If it weren't for the lawlessness of you and other officers and soldiers, how could the new army be corrupted to this point today? How can it be that even the peasants can't be beaten? He pointed to the package officer and scolded again: "Master Hou's fire battalion is not a scum camp that will bully women."

"Haven't you done it? Golden Divine Power. After being repeatedly exposed to the scars, the team officer ridiculed each other: "What did you say about the incident in Shandong back then? Xu Ping, isn't this scourge tossed by your father and son? Everyone knows what happened in the first battle of Shandong, Xu Ping played the striker, galloped to the aid of friendly troops, and finally broke off, but was tossed by your father and son and became a prisoner. How did you, the son-in-law of the Hou Ye, sit on? The brothers who died in the battle with the thieves are all carrying the black pot for you, and you will have the face to say about me. ”

"My corpse will go with you." Jin Shentong shook his head slightly, and his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword: "You can take my corpse to General Wang." ”

"Don't draw your sword, General Kim." Jin Mancang stopped talking, and the white feather soldiers of the twelve fire battalions aimed at this golden magic power with muskets together.

At this time, Jin Shentong had already pulled out his sword violently.

"As he wished." The team officer ordered loudly.

……

Zhendong Houfu,

"Lord He asks to see you."

"Invite him in." Huang Shi, who was reading a book in the study, immediately asked the servant to bring in He Baodao.

He Baodao walked into Huangshi's study with a heavy face, turned around and closed the door gently, and then asked, "My lord, we are talking here, no one will hear it." ”

"Are you coming to my house for the first time?" Huang Shi asked with a smile, there were not a few servants in the Zhendong Hou Mansion, and it seemed deserted compared to other rich and noble families, and there were no servants waiting in the corridor outside the study.

"My lord, you said that when you don't serve the emperor, your subordinates can stop working for you." He Baodao slowly spoke: "My lord, my subordinates are very sad. ”

"Brother He, I'm sorry, I know this makes you very embarrassed, I'm grateful." Huang Shi motioned for He Baodao to sit down and speak: "I always owe you a lot. ”

"It's really hard for my subordinates, my lord." He Baodao walked to Huang Shi's desk, suddenly pulled out the saber, and pointed at Huang Shi's abdomen: "My lord, please throw the handcuff you hid under the desk to the ground." ”

Huang Shi's expression became serious, and gradually brought a hint of coldness: "Brother He, what are you going to do?" ”

"Since the lord is no longer working for the emperor, then the subordinates will not serve the emperor, but the subordinates are still serving the emperor." He Baodao reiterated his request: "My lord, please throw all the four handcuffs you have hidden in your desk to the ground. Seeing that Huangshi still didn't move, He Baodao added: "My lord, you don't have to try at such a close distance, you don't have a chance to shoot." ”

"I'm convinced," Huang Shi grimaced, raised his right hand, opened the drawer with his left hand, and threw the handcuffs inside far away one after another, until the four were finished, he put down his right hand and sat upright on the chair: "Brother He often says that the sword is the foundation of a martial artist, and sure enough." ”

"My lord, my subordinates don't joke with you, my subordinates want to ask my subordinates to promise one thing." He Baodao had been to this study many times, and he knew where Huangshi's weapons were hidden, and now that Huangshi had no weapons that could threaten him, He Baodao put the saber back into the sheath and stood in front of Huangshi's desk.

"I know you're not joking with me, you never joke," Huang Shi put his hands flat on the table, "but do I have the right to say no?" ”

He Baodao and Huang Shi were in a stalemate for a while, shook their heads and said, "No." ”

"I guess that's the case, okay, what does Brother He want me to do for you?"

"Your Excellency lives in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind, don't go out for the time being, and let your subordinates lead the new army to Shanxi for you. No one will know what happened today, and the emperor will not be unfavorable to you, and your subordinates can guarantee it. After defeating the thieves, the adults are still the first to work, and their subordinates must be tight-lipped. ”

Huang Shi frowned and thought for a long time, then asked, "Go to Shanxi?" Are you going to take the new army to Shanxi? ”

"Yes, didn't the adults think that Xu Ping was not a feint attack on Shanxi, but a main attack on Shanxi?"

Huangshi's face became very ugly: "Who is with you?" ”

"They will be with their subordinates, except for the Shanlan camp, General Wei's subordinates don't need to ask at all to know what kind of answer he will have."

Huangshi's face became even more ugly.

Seeing this, He Baodao guessed: "Are you wondering why the Military Intelligence Department doesn't know anything about this matter?" ”

"Li Yunrui is too misguided, what did he say to you?" Huang Shi was already full of anger, he hadn't told Jin Qiude about these things, and he didn't believe that Zhao Wanxiong would say it, so only Li Yunrui was left, and Huang Shi reminded Li Yunrui to pay attention to the reaction of the new barracks officers, whether there had been a private conspiracy, but Li Yunrui reported that everything was normal, and the commanders of each battalion did not visit the door but stayed in their respective camps to prepare for the trip.

"That's enough," He Baodao showed a smile on his face, when he arrested Li Yunrui earlier today, he looked extremely surprised, and he didn't expect this change at all: "In the past few days alone, Brother Li has taken tens of thousands of taels of silver from the old brothers, and he patted his chest and said that he could persuade the adults, and he would not take away their military power when he arrived in the south." In the past few days, when the old brothers discussed privately, they told Brother Li that we were discussing that we should behave well and not make the adults angry after we arrived in the south, and Brother Li naturally did not report to the adults after receiving the money, in fact, in the past few days, the old brothers have gone to my house every night. ”
